    Wyandotte bantam not eating well

    We have a flock of four bantams, different breeds and all have been treated for worm recently with a follow up treatment after two weeks one week ago. Corid is not available here but there are many other product brands so I will do as you suggest and let you know the result. Thanks for your help.

    Wyandotte bantam not eating well

    Hi all, not sure if I am in the correct forum. My Wyandotte bantam of 36 weeks has not laid and is eating very little, fluffed feathers and slow moving. Poop is sometimes watery overnight. Any suggestions as to what may be going on with her. We are currently in last days of first month of spring.

    Diarrhea

    Thank you. It is 5:30am here now, having morning coffee and will do so before sunup. Have read how to make a fecal float solution so should be able to do that as well although hot poop is an issue 5.5 C and feels like -1.5 C

    Diarrhea

    Hi All Leghorn bantam that lays an egg a day produced this poop last night on the roost. Noticed through the day that she had become very quiet and not eating as usual. The only other variant noticed is the speckling of the comb. Any suggestion and advice on treating is more than welcome.

    Leg Injury, can chickens say ouch

    Almost 4 weeks since the injury occurred and little or no improvement, eating and drinking is normal. Short video of her walking. Perhaps will help offering us advice. The step you see is repeated in most walking movements

    Leg Injury, can chickens say ouch

    I have now read a little on bathing and in the absence of swelling I will hold the bath. If swelling does eventuate to lower level of the leg, perhaps I can try a very careful immersion. Maybe a week of wait and see will bring improvement or ?? I have lowered the highest rest level so she is not...
